§ 23. Inviolable Waters

“What—”

A crunching noise echoed throughout the auditorium.

“What shallow—”

The shoe in Kaltinas’s mouth was crushed between his teeth. Pieces of shoe fell onto the podium floor.

“What a shallow and insolent ruler! Do you know what will happen to you and your world if you defy us?!”

“Bwa ha ha ha!” Eldmed burst out laughing at the Immovable King’s rage. “Stale, cliché, and mediocre. Are you perhaps an incarnation of antique mold? Your stock phrases are older than a weathered fossil—by the time I was born, I’d already heard them a million times. Our ruler claims your head is light enough to float away, but from where I’m standing, it seems more like your head’s sunk so low that your brain’s lacking oxygen.”

Kaltinas’s raised hair bristled even further at Eldmed’s taunts. He snarled, baring his fangs— Oh, so he was a demon. His hair was just differently colored to the demons’ of Militia’s World.

“Have you left your subjects completely undisciplined?!” Kaltinas spat at me. “We have shown you the mercy of allowing you to lower your head in remorse, yet you return favor with spite! You’re all arrogant and insolent, each and every one of you! There will be no second chances from here, do you realize that?”

“Is that all you have to say? Tremble in fear, excitement, and delight, Immovable King Kaltinas.” Eldmed grinned, adding fuel to the fire. He spread his arms dramatically. “For you will be the first person in the Sacred Silverwater Sea to experience the devastation of the Demon King of Tyranny!”

I expected the Immovable King to show even more anger, but for some reason, he just looked confused.

“Demon King...?” he asked, looking at me with a mocking smile. “Surely you’re not saying that this man—your ruler—calls himself a Demon King.”

“So what if I do?” I asked.

Kaltinas burst into laughter.

“Wa ha ha ha ha ha! A misfit from an ephemeral world, proclaiming himself a Demon King! The pinnacle of ignorance is indeed pure comedy. Oh, how nice it must be to feel no fear!”

He clutched his stomach and laughed so hard, he was about to topple over. The other students were also snickering among themselves and shaking their heads in mirth.

That being said, this was taking a while. I had replaced my shoe and he was still laughing.

“Are you trying to laugh yourself to death?” I asked.

“Wa ha ha! Apologies. You’re just so comical to us, you see. Well, we suppose that can’t be helped, coming from an ephemeral world and all. Pfft...ha ha...”

He clearly had no intention of explaining himself. I looked over at Ottolulu.

“‘Demon King’ is a title that gathers great reverence across the Sacred Silverwater Sea,” she explained in a businesslike tone. “The Great Demon King Zinia Shivaheld is the supreme master of sorcery, the first to reach the abyss of magic in the silver seas, and the ruler of twelve deep-level worlds. Demon King is also the title given to the six candidates eligible to be his successor.”

That explained why Ottolulu and the gatekeepers had reacted to the name of the Demon King Academy the way they did.
